Perhaps more than just a celebrity fan? Is Timmy to the Knicks what Drake is to the Raptors? Clearly he has a seat whenever he wants one.

He comes by this honestly though, it\u2019s not just that he\u2019s attaching himself to football because of the World Cup. On the French side, Timmy supports Saint-\u00c9tienne because of his dad. In the EPL it\u2019s Chelsea. The point here though is that \u2026 well\u2026 sorry, but Adidas presented him an opportunity as an actor and a sports fan and\u2026 sorry again\u2026 it\u2019s a great film.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-embed-card\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"adidas Backyard Legends | The Greatest Football Story Ever Told\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mJJY53qhJe0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide kg-card-hascaption\"><figcaption>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet and Kylie Jenner head to the Knicks game in NYC, May 6, 2026<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure><figcaption class=\" mt-8 text-sm text-muted italic border-t border-b0 pt-8\">Photo credits: <span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Ulices Ramales\/Backgrid<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.laineygossip.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As predicted earlier this week, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet was not at the Met Gala, not only because he\u2019s not a regular there but because between the Met Gala and the Knicks playoff game, there was no doubt where he\u2019d prefer to be.
